I think it honestly just depends on the practice and sometimes the patient.
I have seen my OB twice: at 6w5d for general appt (blood work, paper work) and then at 7w5d for a dating ultrasound. My practice asks that patients schedule their first prenatal visit between 6-8 weeks and then the OB decides if they want an U/S before 12 weeks. She knew I had a previous loss and requested the U/S. But I won't go back until 12 weeks now.
I had to wait until 10 weeks this time around and it was soooo hard, but the doctor just emphasized that they can get a better look at 10 weeks and they don't have to do the internal ultrasound, the wait is worth being able to see a little more though. Stay strong!
Im still waiting for a booking in appointment for my hospital/midwife unit.....i am 11 weeks. Ive had dating u/s and basic blood works done with my OB.
With my first pregnancy they wouldn't see me until 12 weeks. This pregnancy I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow and I just got my new insurance cards in the mail so I'll call tomorrow and see what they say.
My first appt is Wednesday, I'll be 10w3d. My OB doesn't see patients until 10-12wks. And I think my appt is only Doppler, blood work, pelvic/pap, nutritionist. My genetic testing is at 12weeks which I think will be the first ultrasound. I know it seems like forever, but hang in there, I'm sure it will be worth the wait
